@hamishb@mstdn.ca @juergen_hubert@mementomori.social I’m not sure I see the aspirational movie = consumerism correlation here ? I may be wrong but I feel like the "20 minutes of children’s toys ads with a side of scenario" shows are often more on the relatable side (like TMNT for instance). Finding Nemo was explicitly a cautionary tail on fish as pets, but a lot of kids wanted a Nemo of their own after watching the movie. I’m not saying that consumerism (especially when directed at kids, with a "guns for boys, dolls for girls" attitude) isn’t a problem, just that I feel like it’s more of a consequence of having toys tied to a popular show.
